American Roulette Is Harder to Win Than European Roulette
Gamblers playing roulette in America are going to have a slightly harder time winning. Originally a French game, Americans have tweaked the formula to include 38 instead of 37 possible places for the ball to land (adding a "00" as well as a "0" house pocket to the wheel). It used to be worse: in 1866, a version of the game featuring an American Eagle symbol added yet another opportunity for the house to win it all.
You're absolutely right. There are two main variations of roulette: American Roulette and European Roulette, and the key difference is the number of pockets on the wheel.
That's interesting! I didn't know that American Roulette had more pockets than European Roulette. Can you tell me more about the history of Roulette and how it evolved over time?
The history of the game you mentioned is also interesting. Its important for gamblers to be aware of these differences and to carefully consider their options before placing bets.
